Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

Masters of Horror-Inspired Metalcore
Ice Nine Kills is an American metalcore band renowned for blending aggressive modern metal with cinematic horror storytelling. Known for theatrical visuals, concept-driven albums, and tongue-in-cheek brutality, the band has carved out a unique space in heavy music by transforming classic horror films and literature into high-energy anthems.
Origins and Formation
Ice Nine Kills was formed in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, by vocalist and creative visionary Spencer Charnas. The band’s name is inspired by a fictional substance from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Cat’s Cradle, signaling early on a fascination with dark, literary themes. Their early years were marked by lineup changes and experimentation, gradually evolving from ska-punk and post-hardcore roots into a heavier, more focused sound.
Musical Evolution and Breakthrough
The band’s early releases showcased melodic metalcore influences, but it was their conceptual approach that set them apart. A major turning point arrived with Every Trick in the Book (2015), an album inspired by classic literature, including works by Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. This release laid the foundation for Ice Nine Kills’ signature horror-themed identity and expanded their fanbase within the metal scene.
Horror Concept Albums and Mainstream Recognition
Ice Nine Kills achieved widespread recognition with The Silver Scream (2018), a concept album inspired by iconic horror films such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th. The album’s blend of crushing riffs, catchy choruses, and cinematic storytelling resonated with both metal fans and horror enthusiasts. Its sequel, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood (2021), further cemented their reputation, debuting high on the Billboard charts and showcasing an even more refined theatrical vision.
Style, Themes, and Live Performances
Musically, Ice Nine Kills fuses metalcore, hard rock, and elements of punk with dramatic arrangements and clean-to-screamed vocal contrasts. Lyrically, the band leans heavily into horror tropes, dark humor, and narrative songwriting. Their live shows are known for elaborate costumes, props, and performances that feel more like immersive horror productions than traditional concerts.
Cultural Impact and Fanbase
Ice Nine Kills has cultivated a devoted fanbase, often referred to as “psychos,” drawn to the band’s creativity, storytelling, and commitment to their aesthetic. By merging heavy music with pop culture horror, the band has transcended genre boundaries and found success across festivals, tours, and multimedia platforms.
Legacy and Ongoing Influence
With their distinctive fusion of metal and horror cinema, Ice Nine Kills continues to push the boundaries of concept-driven music. Their ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to a bold artistic vision has made them one of the most recognizable and innovative acts in modern metal. As they continue to evolve, Ice Nine Kills remains a defining force for fans who crave both brutality and theatrical storytelling.

- Thank God It’s Friday
